French Verbs of Motion Conjugating the Past Tense with Être

French Verbs of Motion Conjugating the Past Tense with Être Sign up successful Common French Verbs of Motion Verbs of motion are  exactly what they sound like  â€" they are verbs that express transitions from one place to another, or occasionally, a lack of transition. Some verbs of motion, along with their past participles, include: aller  (to go)  ?  allé(e)(s) descendre  (to go or step down)  ?  descendu(e)(s) monter  (to go or step up)  ?  monté(e)(s) sortir  (to go out)  ?  sorti(e)(s) partir  (to leave)  ?  parti(e)(s) venir  (to come)  ?  venu(e)(s) revenir  (to come back)  ?  revenu(e)(s) rester  (to stay)  ?  resté(e)(s) Note that the basic past participle form for almost all these French verbs follows same the regular pattern as other verbs with the same ending (-er, ir, or re). Even aller, which is normally an irregular verb in the present tense, follows the same pattern as other er verbs. The only exceptions on this list are the irregular verbs venir (venu) and revenir (revenu). Forming the Past Tense with  ÃŠtre Now you can form the past tense with être! Similarly to the past tense with avoir, conjugate the verb être in the present tense, and use the appropriate past participle for the action you wish to express. For example: Je suis descendu du train.  I stepped off/down from the train. Tu es sorti aller au parc.  You went out to go to the park. (If you need to brush up on the present tense of the verb être, take a look at this post  on irregular French verbs.) Remember to Agree with Number and Gender! Now, lets take a look at the variations in the participles that come along with French verbs of motion. You may be wondering why there are extra es and ss in parentheses after the past participles listed above. Whenever you use être as the auxiliary verb (and you will also use être for the  passé composé  of reflexive verbs when you learn about them, if you havent already), the past participle must agree with the subjects number and gender. The first example above assumes a male speaker, while the second assumes the speaker is talking to a boy or man at the same social level. Past participles will change in the same way that adjectives change, adding e for a feminine subject and an s for a plural subject. See the examples below for variations in the use of  past participles: Il est allé à la bibliothèque. He went to the library. Elle est allée à la bibliothèque. She went to the library. Ils sont allés à la bibliothèque. They (including at least one male)  went to the library. Elles sont allées à la bibliothèque. They (all females) went to the library. Je suis allée à la bibliothèque. I went to the library (and I happen to be a female). Nous sommes allés à la bibliothèque. We (including at least one male) went to the library. Vous êtes allées à la bibliothèque. You (and youre all females) went to the library. This variation with gender and number is usually the hardest part for non-native speakers to remember. You might note also that for vous, all forms of the past participle could be valid, depending on the situation: Vous êtes allé. You went (and you are a male  and my social superior or someone I dont know well yet). Vous êtes allée. You went (and youre a female  and my social superior or someone I dont know well yet). Vous êtes allés. You went (and there are more than one of you, including at least one male). Vous êtes allées. You went (and there are more than one of you, and all females). Lets try a few examples to practice. Fill in the blank with the appropriate past tense of the verb in parenthesis. Vous _________________ (partir) hier. (You are talking to a male  and a female.) You left yesterday. Nous _________________ (aller) au cinéma. (You decide if the group has males  in it or not.) We went to the movie theater. Tu _________________ (venir) chez moi la semaine dernière. (You are talking to a female.) You came to my house  last week. Ils _________________ (rester) à lécole jusqu à 18 heures. They stayed at school until 6:00 p.m. Je _________________ (monter) sur le train. I stepped onto the bus. Now check your answers to see how you did! êtes partis If the group has at least one male  : sommes allés; If youre all females: sommes allées es venue sont restés If you are a male: suis monté; If you are a female:  suis montée How did you do? Keep practicing and checking yourself, and whenever you run across a French verb of motion, remind yourself to use être for the passé composé. Interested in learning more about French verbs?

Still, the word remains being feminine.[2] Many words have completely different meanings depending on what syllable is stressed. For example,  la mamá  (stressed on the second syllable: the mother), la mama (stressed on the first syllable: the breast). Spanish has two different verbs that mean “to be” in English: ser and estar. The first one is for permanent states (such as personality features of a person;  Yo soy alto [I am tall]) and the second one is for temporary states (such as the location of something; Yo estoy en casa [I am at home]). Even though nouns ending in -o are usually masculine, la mano  is a feminine word. Many nouns are spelled the same but change meanings if theyre used with a different grammatical gender. For example, el cometa (the comet) and la cometa (the kite); el cura (the Catholic priest) and la cura (the cure); el pendiente (the earring) and la pendiente (the slope).[3] Different from English, Spanish has a relatively free word order, and variations of the Subject-Verb-Object order occur much more often than in English. For example, the sentence “Juan wrote a book” can be said like Juan escribió el libro,” “El libro escribió Juan,” “Escribió Juan el libro,” and even “Juan el libro escribió,” or “El libro, Juan escribió” for some literary effect.[4] In most parts of the Spanish-speaking world, theres a familiar-informal 2nd person singular pronoun (usually tú) and a formal 2nd person singular pronoun for unknown, older, or important people (usted). In the Rioplatense variety, the pronoun tú is never used; vos is used instead as the informal-familiar 2nd person singular. In some other countries, such as Ecuador, both tú and vos coexist, but the second one has a social connotation and is considered a highly uneducated (and even lowly) way of addressing others.[5] Exclamations and questions in Spanish need to begin with an “opening” exclamation mark ( ¡) or question mark ( ¿). These punctuation marks do not exist in other languages, except some minority languages in Spain. Considering the three moods (Indicative, Subjunctive, and Imperative), there are 17 tenses in Spanish.[6] Spanish has two different versions of the imperfect subjunctive that coexist in modern Spanish (Pretérito Imperfecto del subjuntivo), one with -ra endings and one with -se. Most native speakers use either form interchangeably. For instance, the words amara or amase ([if I] loved). Spanish Pronunciation Spanish is a very phonetic language. If you know how a word is spelled, you can surely know how its pronounced. If you know how a word is pronounced, you cannot be sure of how its spelled. Letters b and v sound the same in Standard Modern Spanish (this simplification took place between the 15th and 17th century). Between vowel sounds, theyre pronounced like a soft b, in which the lips don’t touch. This last sound doesnt exist in English.[7] Until the early 18th century, the letter x was used to represent the x sound, like  the Scottish word loch. After that, it was replaced with the letter j to represent the same sound. For example, the word caja (box) used to be spelled like caxa.[8] The letter c, when it appears before the letters e and i, is pronounced differently by speakers in Latin America and Spain. The former  pronounce it like an s,  whereas the latter pronounce it like th in “the.” There are plenty of homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently) in Spanish that cause native speakers difficulties in learning how to write. Popular examples are hacia (towards) and Asia (Asia), and hola  (hello) and ola (wave). Even though the letters y and ll sound slightly different in most parts of Spain and Latin America, in Rioplatense Spanish, the variety spoken in the most populated areas of Argentina and Uruguay sound like “sh” in English. For example, baya (berry) and valla (fence) sound like bah-shah. Despite being one of the most common words in the language, the word yo (I) can be pronounced in at least four different ways depending on the location of the speaker. The letter y can behave as a consonant at the beginning of syllables (onset), or as a vowel at the ending of syllables (nucleus).  For example, yo (y is a consonant), hoy (y has a vowel sound).[9] Spanish  Vocabulary There are words in Spanish that cannot be translated in one word in English. An example is empalagarse (to feel sick because of too much sweetness in food, but also figuratively, as in romantic situations).[10] Another word that cannot be translated in one word is sobremesa (after-dinner conversation).[11] Around 8% of Spanish vocabulary is of Arabic origin.[12] Within numerous expressions of casual Spanish conversation, there often exists a strong likeness to Arabic expression. Probably most well-known is the interjection ¡Ojalá!, which is derived from the phrase law šá lláh, meaning “if Allah wills [it].[13] There are 30,500 words that contain all of the vowels (a, e, i, o, u).[14] New verbs can be easily created by adding the suffix -ear at the end of the words. This is how modern technology-related words have been invented from English words; for example, escanear (to scan)[15]  and tuitear (to send tweets).[16] A very common phrase in Spanish thats literally translated into holding someones hair (tomarle el pelo a alguien) means to mock someone with false compliments or promises.[17] In Argentina, theres a group of slang words called vesre. They come from the Spanish word for reverse (revés)  after moving around a few letters. Just as the word vesre, other words are made by switching around letters. These words are now so common in Argentina that they may be used more than the “real” word. For example, garpar (Standard Spanish: pagar, English: to pay) or toga (Standard Spanish: gato, English: cat).[18] Many English words have been adapted to Spanish in the 20th century and have become everyday vocabulary. For instance, fútbol (football), suéter (sweater), pulover (pullover), and overol (overall).[19] There are two phrases in Spanish that can be translated to “I love you”: Te amo and te quiero. The first one is said between lovers or closely-related family members. The second one is mostly friendly and typically not romantic. There isn’t a verb in Spanish that can be literally translated to “like.” Me gusta la pizza can be literally translated to the approximation: “The pizza is pleasing to me.” English and Spanish share plenty of similarly-written words that don’t mean the same. Theyre called false friends and learners of Spanish should be aware of them to avoid difficulties. For example, embarazada means pregnant in English and not embarrassed. The Language of Spain Culture and History Spanish is the 2nd most-spoken language as mother tongue. The number of speakers of Spanish as a first language is almost 399 million.[20] The language with the highest number of native speakers is Chinese with 1.2 billion people.[21] Spanish is the 3rd most-used language on the Internet, with 256.8 million users.[22] The use of Spanish on the Internet has grown 1,312.4% from 2000 to 2015.[23] Spanish is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.[24] Spanish is the official language in 22 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, Puerto Rico, Spain, Uruguay, and Venezuela.[25] Spanish is expected to be the first language of 50% of the population of the United States within 50 years.[26] Theres a Spanish-based creole language spoken in the Philippines called Chabacano (poor taste, vulgar). Its the sole and most extensive Spanish-based creole language that still exists in Asia or Oceania.[27] Based on estimates from Census data, the Hispanic population in the US will grow to 132.8 million in 2050. People who speak Spanish may call it español (meaning: it comes from Spain), or castellano (meaning: it  comes from Castilla, Spain), and many people use both words interchangeably.[29] In 1492, the same year when Columbus arrived in America, the first grammar of Spanish was published by Elio Antonio de Nebrija.[30] Spanish was the major diplomatic language until the 18th  century.[31] In 1713, the Real Academia Española was founded. It established authoritative criteria for the sanctioning of neologisms (newly coined words) and the incorporation of international words. Spanish grammar was formalized during this period.[32] In present-day Spanish, September may be spelled septiembre or setiembre. However, the latter is considered a vulgar or informal version of the earlier one because of the dropping of sounds. Contrary to popular belief, the word setiembre is the “originally Spanish” word, since until the 17th century there was no agreement in spelling and the p was not pronounced.[33] Some words that begin with f in other Romance languages, begin with “h” in Spanish. This makes such difference a unique development for the Spanish language. For example, ferrum (Latin: iron) and hierro (Spanish: iron); falar (Portuguese: to speak) and hablar (Spanish: to speak); figlio and fumo (Italian: son and smoke)  and hijo and humo (Spanish: son and smoke).[34] The letter ñ is the only Spanish letter of Spanish origins.[35] Beginning in about the 12th century, Spanish scribes (whose job it was to copy documents by hand) used the tilde placed over letters to indicate that a letter was doubled. This resulted in the Latin word annus to be spelled año in Spanish.[36] The first written records in Spanish are the Glosas Emilianenses and they date back to 964 A.C.[37] The first Literary piece that was fully written in Spanish was “El Cantar de Mio Cid,” which dates back to the 13th century and whose author is unknown.[38] Sources [1] http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=persona [2]  http://www.spanishgrammargenius.com/why_do_i_use_masculine_article_with_feminine_word.htm [3] http://spanish.about.com/od/nouns/a/double_gendered.htm [4] http://spanish.about.com/od/sentencestructure/a/word-order-in-spanish.htm [5] http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/86107/Ennis.pdf [6] http://www.rae.es/diccionario-panhispanico-de-dudas/apendices/modelos-de-conjugacion-verbal [7] Lapesa, R.

If Youre Not Growing Youre Shrinking - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / If Youre Not Growing Youre Shrinking - Introvert Whisperer If Youre Not Growing Youre Shrinking Dow Escalante November 28, 2016 Career Development No responses Go to top As we approach the end of the year people often think of their careers, so today I’m going to toss out a few thoughts for you to consider. Your career is always moving in some direction; it never stays the same. The question is: What direction is it going? Is that the direction you intended? Even if we aren’t intending to get promoted or a higher level if we aren’t growing, we’re shrinking. Growth comes in a number of ways such as learning new skills  or taking on new tasks. Think of this like the ever-expanding resume. You want to show some type of growth or progression on your resume because it demonstrates your initiative along with all sorts of other good characteristics. Also, your career is your responsibility and only you can decide what direction you want to go and how you will get there. It’s easy to get derailed by life or work circumstances but a couple of times a year, you need to make an appointment with yourself and contemplate the next couple of moves you need to make. Also, if you work for the type of company that offers classes or reimburse you for classes you take; don’t get lulled into the idea that’s all. Consider those classes a place to get started. There are colleges and university both local and online that can explode your skills. If you’re aiming for a promotion or higher level, make sure you know what you need to do to turn yourself into the best possible candidate. This is too important to make assumptions, you have to do your due diligence and speak to experts or management to get the correct information. I call this a gap analysis and I speak to too many people that either don’t do all the steps for the gap analysis or they make assumptions that prove to be wrong. There you go. Two things for you to take action on. Today.

Subtraction within 1000

Subtraction within 1000 There are different mathematical operations in math such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Subtraction is of the basic and prominent mathematical operation used in every branch of math and life in general. Subtraction is denoted by the sign -and is also called as difference. Subtraction means difference or the amount by which the total quantity is reduced. In subtraction the order in which the numbers are subtracted is very important. If the order of the numbers is changed the answer also changes. Hence subtraction is not commutative or associative. Example 1: Subtract the following numbers and find the answer: 792 - 561? Solution: Given are two numbers 792 and 561 which are both within 1000. Subtracting the numbers 792 + 561. First the ones place is subtracted 2 - 1 = 1. Now subtracting the tens place of the given numbers 9 - 6 = 1. Then subtracting the hundreds place of the numbers = 7 5 = 2. Hence the subtraction of: 792 - 561 = 211. Question: Multiple choice question (Pick the correct option.) What is the difference when the two numbers 695 and 382 are subtracted? a) 313 b) 963 c) 343 d) None of these. Correct answer: option a. Explanation: Here the two numbers 695 and 382 are given. Subtracting the ones place 5 - 2 = 3. Subtracting the tens place 9 - 8 = 1. Adding the hundreds place 6 - 3 = 3. Hence, subtracting the numbers 695 - 382 = 313.

Volunteering With Tutorfair - Snehas Story

Volunteering With Tutorfair - Sneha's Story Sneha S is a registered Tutorfair  tutor and has completed a volunteer placement for the Tutorfair Foundation.  Read her story  below..... Being a Masters student in London usually means long hours in the library, essays that will make your head hurt and one too many existential crises. It also means you yearn to step out of your academic lifestyle and do something different. For me, this welcome respite came in the form of Tutorfair. Having seen advertisements of the company pop up on my social media, I finally decided to give it a go and I am so glad I did. Tutorfair is an educational company that provides you with the opportunity to help tutor students and adults of all ages to improve their subjects. These subjects range from sports to academics and you have the luxury of choosing as many subjects as you wish to tutor once you sign up to this website. Excited and a tad bit nervous, I got down to business and started my own profile on the website which was quite simple, that coming from a technologically challenged person like me, is a big deal ! Once I had signed up, I was greeted with a warm welcome mail and an invitation to a seminar hosted by the company in partnership with Teach First, one of the leading educational organisations attempting to end educational inequality in London. The training day  provided two massive benefits. For one, it taught you and educated you, the tutor, about how to improve your teaching skills and your interactions with the students. It also speeded up your verification process on the website. So, on a not so sunny London morning, I headed to the training day, curious and ready to participate in everything it had to offer. It was a wonderful experience to say the least. I was made aware of the huge disparities in education in the city and learnt a plethora of ways to not just intermingle with the students but also make the syllabus more interesting. I got to learn how to pick up on subtle clues about students who might not be coming from the most stable of homes and how to deal with them without hurting or causing harm to the students and also got to practice the newly learned methods. The training day  also gave me the chance to network with other tutors who not only came from all different spheres of life but also had loads of experiences of their own to share. The entire day  was fascinating and I would do it all over again, if given the chance. Once I had completed the training, I was invited to the Tutorfair office, where I was provided with a more detailed description as to how the company and website works. I understood the ropes of the company and was delighted to stumble across two adorable pets roaming around in the office. Hurray for all the animal lovers !! Amidst talking to the other newly signed tutors and munching on delicious snacks, we were led to a small room one by one where we were videotaped. This video allows for a more personal network between the client and tutor, providing the client with a little more information regarding the tutor they might possibly book. Before I knew it, my profile was live on the website. The company gives the tutors the luxury of choosing the rate per hour at which they would like to tutor and also choose the timings for when they are available. Having one or two or more references makes the profile even more attractive and welcoming and soon, I was caught up in the world of tutoring. There are times when it can get challenging, parents worried about their children’s performances might need reassuring and at times even the children need to be constantly reminded that their hard work and dedication will pay off. Providing incentive, confidence and encouragement is key along with a constant stream of patience and motivation. For me, applying to Tutorfair was one of the best decisions I could have made. Not only did it give me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and submerge myself in the world of academics from a different point of view but it also gave me the chance to give back by volunteering and by sharing the knowledge I had amassed.
